Project info for model_auto_completer

model_auto_completer is a Rails plugin that provides autocompletion for
models. That is, the
user autocompletes a text field, but the widget is able to manage a hidden field
that stores the ID of the model that corresponds to the selected
completion.

Such a widget may be useful when the number of options is too much for a
select. Say you need to assign a director to a movie having a database of
hundreds of directors. With this plugin it is easy to let the user autocomplete by
director name, and have a robust database ID managed under the hood.
